There were a couple of beautiful Integrales here in Northern CA just a month or two ago. Both red and immaculate. Evo 2 I believe. Absolutely love those cars.
@@stashtrey1 I'm in the bay also, I remember seeing those cars for sale at a dealer in San Francisco. Along with that, one day I was leaving work in Menlo Park and seen a white one with a full martini livery. That thing was amazing!
See if you can import a Starlet GT. Those are pretty cheap and should be pretty easy to daily. Ideally if you can find a 4WD EP85 Starlet and shove a 4EFTE in it and turn it into a 4WD GT Turbo.
You could do an mr2? That way you dont have to have a ton of money tied up in a car but could still have something super rad and fairly similar to the lotus.
Dood... gutpunch! I am going to have nightmares tonight. My exige has survived career transitions, wives, multiple expensive breakdowns. I am a little older than you, blasted a fortune on my build as-is. I know i will keep playing with cars, but i can't realize that loss in life force +money that selling it would entail. On one hand you broke the spell, the mod rabbithole is very deep for such tiny dancers. On the other hand you will realize that the compromises the Exige required of you albeit steep, were conscious in hopes the devil's bargain in handling was delivered. the compromises other cars make, dull the experience. That is the one that is going to get you man. What is going to handle like that? A Ariel Atom? I would become a jaded and bitter old man at this point if I sold. It keeps me in my youth. I look forward to seeing what play with next. I just restored a Jaguar XJS v12... You said you liked challenges right?
Haha, well said... it will be hard to beat but there is always the next, I guess my narrative is to not be myopic and only try to climb the same ladder. I think my mindset stems from a land of impermanence. No matter how good, some things serve only a static time and place.
Bro I'm in the same boat as you. I've had all these cars and now I'm wondering what my next venture is. I'll tell you what I have an NSX right now. I do understand your logic, in that it doesn't make sense to spend all that money if it just sits there all day. So that's why I decided to to maybe go to something cheaper so I can just do something wild and not worry about it so much. Well see but I'm excited to see your next video lol
I would move to a better living state. I understand what your saying but how long you going to buy cars in live in a condo and have them at mommys house. I follow other youtubes who do the same thing. Very entertaining from a "mans" stand point.
Hey bro, I felt your emotion of letting go your car at the end on this video. My Exige is not getting a lot of use too but I'm keeping it for now. On a side note, I noticed you have a Montana plate which I'm thinking of getting for another car. Could you pm so I can ask you some questions about it pls. Thank you.
@@V8GOD7 - 😂, yoooo, it's Kenji! Naw, I was just making a joke referencing NFS Carbon. T.F.K is the Exotic crew, Kenji is the leader of the Tuner crew.
You will regret it! On my second Lotus and 8 years of driving, I also do vids on our club here in Australia. YOU will be getting another one.... Just wait and see, no car excites after a Lotus.
Based on your rubric at the end of the vid, I’d say some rare-ish variant of a 997 (GT3 maybe if you can swing it?)...or something really off the beaten path like a 1999 3000GT and see if you can build it into a 500hp beast while retaining the driving characteristics. Beware the head and transmission issues though...that’d be part of the fun building it stronger than before. An aside: I may’ve asked before but I can’t remember: what was the horsepower rating on the Exige?
If I go P car, my first choice would still be something air cooled, but I also hate how high their prices are these days. The Exige had the full BOE Torque 300 setup, so around 260RWHP @ 2000lbs
Corner Balanced yes, those are essentially a security these days (964 and prior). Unless you have the resources of Singer, you can my get much over the same hp you had with the Exige but at 2600lbs (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I def like that era of Porsche though. Sounds like you need a daily too lol (eGolf maybe). I’m in a similar place but with a plebeian $40K budget (and I’d have to sell my 07 Accord & 07 TL) which won’t happen until this summer or summer ‘21...so I live my car life through your vids. This’ll be fun!
Hey man i think a Bmw 135i would be right up your ally ! can do a 1m coupe rep. Do a little research there very cheap for how much car you get out of it. Like and comment so Eric can see this !
That car made me realize how cool an Exige can be
Damn I would have kept that car forever if I were you.
That was a super clean whip man, how’re you gonna top the Exige?!
Lancia Delta Integrale!
Jaime MacDonald oooo
Bro an 037, or an Audi Sport Quattro would be sick

Foolish move getting rid of that!! Was looking forward to more lotus content! U should scoop a Lotus Esprit.
You must be losing so much money on these cars cus you never see the money back on the money and time you put into them, You Crazy bro

Gutted to see the Exige leave... wouldn’t be surprised to see a 911 arrive as a replacement.
That's a clean as dream car.. best exige I seen

A Cappucino
BMW Z4 M Coupe, u won't be disappointed with it. The steering feel and dynamic is as unique as the Lotus. Check out ZPost.com for more info :)

Def a sikk build man. Looking forward to what's gonna be next. Keep up the good work.
That is just insane, hope whatever comes next is even better.
It'll be cheaper... don't know about better... maybe? hopefully...
@@CornerBalanced man don't worry about that, if you're doing it, it's gonna be lit
I would love to see you work on a 1995 to 1999 eclipse since most DSM owners don’t go for a clean look that would be a nice Change
Is that the Paul Walker green gen? I'm into that
Yes it sure is
Agreed I’ve always thought those cars have a clean look with a lot of potential
Nooooo not the Exige ;/ that’s my dream car
whats a rough estimate on costs for enclosed car transport?
Hey man. I saw the brand, but was also wondering what size tires you had on the R2 FD with the Regamasters?
Why not get an 84 Celica they’re rare, not a lot of people have them, similar to an AE86 chassis wise, and it’s rear wheel drive!

Less sometimes is more I guess, just gotta find that right point of balance
Sad to see the exige go but know the next build will be just as good. Keep up the good content
I want to see a classic muscle car build with a modern touch!
How did you find the aftermarket Android head unit?
Easy fitting?
User friendly? etc
Fit great and not too big
An Escort Cosworth or Sierra RS would be something not many people have seen.
Maybe some type of classic euro? A BMW 2002 ? Or an 70’s/80’s Mercedes or Audi
NSX!!!!
Should look into a 991 gts, very clean lines. An interior to improve and room to make faster
Also Datsun 620 pickups have incredible potential for a clean restomod with your style
Why your car not at your house?
Maybe get a nice house that can hold your stuff. Thats a good base. Then get toys.
NeoAndersonReloaded because I live in a Condo and a nice house in my area is at LEAST 1.2M... easier said than done
Corner Balanced sounds like the money you got for the Lotus should go to a house down payment 😎
Alex Lai you might be onto something

man I'm going to miss this thing. You made want an Elise/Exige!
I think everyone should own one at one point in their car lives
First gen NSX
Not as much hate as selling the ae86. People just love that thing. Cult following
BMW E46 M3. Manual this time.
Andrew reading my mind...
Love your builds, how about a classic 911
Would love a G Body Aircooled... but the prices on them are too high for me I think
The Exige was cool, but this just means we'll get more new videos soon. 😄
Sad... But I can't wait to see new content. I think you should buy a wagon next!
Kenji joined up with T.F.K
What's T.F.K?
@@V8GOD7 - 😂, yoooo, it's Kenji!
Naw, I was just making a joke referencing NFS Carbon. T.F.K is the Exotic crew, Kenji is the leader of the Tuner crew.
Just get another FD ! Lol
American - Coyote swap notchback foxbody / German - E39 M5
Big V8 theme there
Porsche 911 GT3 next!
What’s rattling at idle?

Adore that car
Regret selling it yet? I miss mine.. Ton of mods like yours.
Dam i’m going to miss that car, so amazing
get a porsche
You will regret it!
On my second Lotus and 8 years of driving, I also do vids on our club here in Australia. YOU will be getting another one.... Just wait and see, no car excites after a Lotus.
2014 lexus isf, or a gsf. Sedan daily
Oh well..looks like the 911..997..996 market is open..lol
Air cooled Porsche or 1st gen NSX
Caterham... S2000....GT86.....
